Auto-approve all comments in Comments Plugin

Is there a way to auto-approve and make all the Comments Plugin's comments public by default?

Also I really need to know on what basis the comments are held for moderation. On some pages, they are public by default, on others they end up in moderation queue.

---------- Update 0 ---------

I removed fb:admins, the moderation UI has disappeared, but the moderation is still in effect. I get the admin UI when I load the page logged in with the App admin creds, and the I can see the comments are in the moderation queue (even new ones). I have even ticked "Make every post visible to everyone by default".

What seems to be the problem?

How to approve comments automatically in WordPress?

Step 1 - Login to the WordPress admin panel, click 'Settings' in the left-hand menu and click 'Discussion' in the sub-menu. Now WordPress will automatically approve all comments made on your website or blog.

I have determined the cause of this issue.

It turns out that if you try and post to a comment box using a 'fresh' facebook account, these comments are automatically added to the moderation queue. This makes sense as the users posting these comments look like spammers.
